I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT! S.M DOES!

Epilogue: All Grown Up

(Bella's POV AGE 22)

"Come on we have to see your sister's graduation." I grinned as Edward went to plant kisses up my neck.

"We'll see Ness's graduation, can't I just enjoy this time with my beautiful amazing girlfriend?" he asked teasingly.

"I guess a few minutes wouldn't hurt." I smirked as I gently push him up against his Volvo and kissed his lips.

It's been four years since I graduated high school and now I was going to be graduating college soon. College was amazing. It was so great, but I missed everyone. I had the love of my life with me, but I still missed the others and I couldn't wait to see them saw one another over breaks and whenever we could. Sometimes Alice and Jasper would drive up to New Hampshire or us to New York. Or Rose and Emmett would fly out to see us. Though every holiday we would see one another and celebrate here in good old Forks.

In the next year I was going to become a teacher to a bunch of bright eyed first graders and Edward a doctor in Seattle's finest hospital. Rosalie got her degree for early childhood development and is going to open a day care while Alice is renovating an old shop in Seattle for her new boutique, Topaz. Emmett's going to be joining the police force of Seattle and Jasper would be heading out with the military, but he wanted to get his teaching degree before he was shipped out.

You see we all planned that once we graduated college we would all move to Seattle. Edward and I had an apartment lined up and so did the others. It would only be in a matter of time we would all be living in the same apartment building and become neighbors again.

Nessie, Seth, and Jacob were all graduating today and we were here to see them before they would go off to college themselves. Nessie was going to Stanford and Jacob would be following her while Seth was going to Washington state with Claire and Quil. Ness was going to school to become a teacher, but was really hopping to become a writer also while Jake was going to try and become a mechanic. Lastly, Seth was going to school for his business degree.

The little trio was getting spilt up, and I know what they feel like. They'll only be able to see one another during the holidays like us during college. I hated being so far away from my friends and family, but in the end we're all still together. Nothing will ever keep us apart.

"Eddie boy! Get off my sis!" Emmett yelled out of nowhere, frighting and embarrassing me as we both pull away blushing.

"Emmett!" I hissed at my bother, who just shrugged.

"What? I didn't want to see my little sister and one of my best friends sucking face!" He cried out. I roll my eyes as I take Edward's hand.

"Come on you guys!" Alice chirped.

"We have a graduation to get to!" Jasper said.

"Which we'll be late to if you guys don't move it!" Rosalie pointed out.

"Come on Dr. Fang and Mrs. C saved us seats!" Emmett sung as we all rushed into the auditorium. It was kind of weird being back in my old high school, but what are you going to do?

"Over here!" Esme waved to us as we rushed over to her and got into our seats. We just made it in time to see Seth, Nessie, and Jake walk across the stage to receive their diplomas.

"GO NESSIE! GO SETH! GO JAKE!" Emmett yelled, earning a smack upside the head from Rose.

"Shut it you goof!" I warned.

"Sorry Belly Bear," he apologized. I chuckle as I look to see our old principle, Mrs. Meyer, make a speech.

One she was done we go to go over to Ness, Jake, and Seth. They all seemed to grow up since the last time we saw them, which was a few months ago.

"Congrats you guys!" Alice squealed hugging all of them. "Say cheese!" a bright light flashed in their eyes blinding them for a few moments.

"Um Thanks Alice," Nessie said, shaking her head a bit to return her vision.

"Congratulations," I told them giving them each a hug.

"Thanks Bella," Jake said.

"What are we waiting for?! Let's go party!" Emmett sung, motioning to the cars.

"Calm it you big goof," Rosalie warned him.

"But I wanna party!" he whined. We all laughed while Rosalie rolled her eyes at her goofy bear of a boyfriend.

"We're going now Em," Jasper said, patting his back as we all started to make our ways to the cars.

"Can you believe it? We're the older ones now too!" Seth exclaimed as we got into the car.

"Oh you'll always be the youngest to us Seth," I tease while his face forms a pout.

"Oh come on, let's get our party on. We have some time before we're adults," Nessie pointed out in a giggle as we began to drive all the way back to the Cullen home.

When we get their a teenage party is beginning to brew and I smile seeing Ness, Jake, and Seth interact with the others in a crazy party. Ness is slow dancing with Jake while Seth has a lamp shade on his head.

I look to see Alice and Jasper slow dancing and so is Emmett and Rosalie. It's hard to believe that time can pass you so fast like this. I guess you can say sometimes I miss being a little kid, but then again being an adult comes with so much freedom.

I look to see the photo of us all together by the woods, the same one Alice gave us. All over the Cullen's wall were photos of us together and I smile looking through all the memories. From our first beach trip to graduation. I can't believe time went so fast, just seems like yesterday I met Edward on the playground. Him, a toothy bronze haired kid, and I, the blushing brown eyed brunette.

"Hey love," Edward whispered smiling softly at me. I felt his arms wrap around me as I looked at the pictures. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, just feels like time went so fast, you know?" I said, my gaze not leaving the photos. He nods as he goes to gently move my face from the photos so he can go to kiss my lips gently. I smile as we slowly pull away.

"I know, just seems like yesterday we met?" he chuckled and I nod.

"Yeah, I'll never forget that day." I smile as he kisses my cheek.

"We still have a whole future ahead of us...until then will you please dance with me Miss Swan?" I giggled as I take his hand and we both begin to sway back and forth to the melody of the song.

"I love you Edward, forever," I whispered.

"I love you too Bella." I then pull him into a kiss as we both just dance for the rest of the night in one another's embrace. I guess you can say now we're all grown up.
